I have been a house sitter - looking after folks' homes while they travel. After driving around Australia on my own I have settled at Beachmere, north of Brisbane. Now it's time to write.

What a Big Headache!!!

I am a lucky girl in that I seldom have aches and pains, such that even when I travel I don't remember to pack any tablets e.g. paracetamol. I use them so rarely. However, I have had a very worn out pack (I should have checked the use by date!) of ten, which at long last came to an end. I had a sore throat two days ago, so gobbled the last two.

Yesterday, while at the discount pharmacy, I decided to get a new packet. "Only a small pack" I suggested to the staff member who came to help me.

It seems that the best deal is a pack of 100 - now I reckon, unless something happens, this will keep me going for at least 10 years. But, the expiry date is 2013!!!! No way I will finish them all in that time!!! Still, it was a bargain. Less than $2!!! Oh, well.

My Journey

This blog has been about my 'house sitting' where I have spent weeks, or months caring for the home and pets of folks who travel. I too have enjoyed much travel, detailed in this blog and Adventures of an Aussie English Teacher. At the end of 2012, I set off on another adventure - driving on my own around Australia, taking photos, writing, blogging, and perhaps getting occasional opportunities to do workshops on Blogging, Writing, Writing Life Stories, Creating E-books, Photobooks, or Bamboo.

I left Brisbane on November 25th, 2012, returning on April 30th, 2013. In June I moved to Beachmere, Queensland.
